protected: void gbump( int count ); |  |

Skips count characters in the get area. This is done by adding count to the get pointer. No checks are done for underflow.

### Parameters

count | - | number of characters to skip

### Return value

(none)

### Notes

Because this function takes an int, it cannot manipulate buffers larger than std::numeric_limits<int>::max() characters (LWG issue 255).
